A year ago or so, I played 7 days to die with my friends. It was fun, but they had played before and I was brand new, kinda just figuring out things as I went. We played it again the other night (some stuff had changed), but today......I decided to play by myself and get to know the game. I thought, why not post my experiences here?!!

My first attempt went pretty well, but I was waaaaay south on the map and I felt like I traveled for like 2 hours getting to anything green. I had not actually gone to the wiki yet and looked at a map, so I guess I headed east through tons of burnt out lands before going south through some desert, east again and finally north to find trees. 2 hours later I finally get to some trees and there is a large bear in front of the house I chose.

I got up on a rock (pretty high one) and proceeded to shoot the bear. This turned out to be a VERY bad idea as the bear ate me. I ran out, got my corpse and....you guessed it...the bear ate me again.

Ok, lesson learned, don't attack bears. At this point my wellness was down to only 80 which would take me way longer then 2 hours to get back, so I decided to just restart. Before doing so......I cheated and looked at a map. Now I knew that the southern side is the hardest and the northern side has lots of green.

This time I started in the desert, gathered tons of Yucca fruit and aloe along the way as I headed north. Still had to run through burnt lands etc, but I got to green WAY faster (like 30 minutes). I plopped down a bed, and started clearing out homes around the area....in the process......I got infected!! Argh. I found no honey or anti-biotics in the area. I now know a bit more and could have gone to a town nearby and probably found some, but I had no clue. I ran through a few towns all over the place looking for a pharmacy (like 3 of them) and saw NO PHARMACIES at all!! WTH I sad....so I went back to the map (sigh it's not cheating really, I mean...there would be freaking maps of the area in the towns right?)....and looked up pharmacies. Well...it turns out people in this area hate them, as there are only 2 on the whole freaking map. By now I was at stage 2 of the infection and at stage 3 you die.....meaning you lose a ton of wellness AND you also lose wellness periotically from stage 2. Wellness loss sucks, but I booked it WAY south along a path I had already explored (I literally saw the pop and pills store but didn't know what it was from the intersection) and got there before stage 3 or loosing more then 1 point of wellness (I had meanwhile gained 8 points by eating good food and popping vitamins I found!!).

The store, of course, was full of zombies. I actually got jumped by 4 when trying to enter (breaking the glass woke them up..they were all outside around the corner). There was another 8 or so zombies in the store itself (and it's close quarters), but I wiped them all out.

I then looted the whole store, and it wasn't till just at the end that I found......2 anti-biotics!! (cures infection!!). Hurrah, I now was at 108 wellness with no infection and TONS of med kits/healing bandages etc.

I turned around and headed back to the green, fighting zombies along the way, got jumped a few times etc, but i have so much healing now, I feel like a god. Oh yeah, on the way they did an air drop for me (Set it to every day muahaha), and guess what was in it...6 freaking anti-biotics. At least I'll be safe from future zombie bites for awhile.

I am now safe back at a farm (tons of corn there) and there is a town named Diersville nearby that I am going to explore. My weapon making and blunt skills are better as well, so zombies go down alot faster which is really nice. I feel like I am at a pretty safe place, and have a good start to the game. I have awhile till the first blood moon (still mid day 2 out of 7), and have 2 guns already (just not much ammo). Next up Imma gonna make me a bow and a buncha arrows (have tons of feathers), and start hunting up some grub!!!
